Most wheelchair-accessible rooms in hotels do not have enough space for our family. They usually only have one bed. (What, people in wheelchairs don't have families? They always travel alone? They never travel?)
With three kids and two parents, that won't work (and the hotel can't rent it to that many people anyway). Since Nate doesn't use the bathroom, all we really need is accessibility to the room itself, and maneuverability inside the room. So, we usually request a room on the ground floor or near an elevator, since we have tons of supplies and medical equipment to haul in and out of the room. Also, most suites have more open floorspace than any typical "wheelchair-accessible" room, so a one-room suite is actually a better choice for us, when it's possible. The suites with kitchenettes are really nice for long stays, since we can save money by cooking in the room rather than eating out. But usually we make do with a mini-fridge (a must for Nate's meds and special formula).
